Craig, if you were a bald man, I'd kiss the top of your head. You be da
Man! Worked like a charm. I think setting NETWORKING_IPV6=yes did the
trick. Not 100% sure, but it wasn't there to start with, so I added it
and I no longer get the error. I'm still not running X11 apps within
Wonderland, as it connects, gets approval then dies. 
I see this:
----------------------------------------------------
+ .//Xvfb :3 -screen 0 1600x1200x24 -remwin +extension Composite
-fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/share/X11/fonts/URW,/usr/share/X11/fonts/Speedo,/usr/share/X11/fonts/truetype,/usr/share/X11/fonts/uni:unscaled,/opt/kde3/share/fonts,/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType -co /usr/share/X11/rgb
XRemote Window is enabled
atomWmTransientFor = 68

Fatal server error:
Could not initialize remote window server
-----------------------------------------------------

I'm wondering about that screen size, that is my entire desktop size,
but maybe that is referring to my entire desktop?? It didn't say a
helluva lot there. I'll examine the script for a debug option to turn
on. Thanks again!!!! Ric
